Following a request from Mattel USA, we need to remove the images which we did at the press presentation yesterday at the headquarters of Mattel France. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The damage has been done, Why take it down now?Wb didn't want this zod suit revealed.

Because they wanted for sure to reveal it in the next Empire issue, out in a couple of days, but...it's their fault, they should have moved their asses showing something at least a month earlier instead of waiting the beginning of february..

It's pretty sad that we had to get our first real image of Zod from a toy.....WB seems to have thought that they could have kept zod under wraps, but thats not possible in this day and age.
Truthfully, a zod image should have been released months ago.

Makes me wonder what or who else will beat them to the punch on the next thing.( krypton image, sample of the score, etc )
Lets hope that they will now be a little more proactive.

Honestly though aside from a set pic of Shannon in the black costume and 3.75" figure showing the same thing....has Zod really been revealed? Even the mini-figure doesn't reveal too much of the armored suit and the only thing we've really gotten a good look at is his crest.

Going by further descriptions of what the Legos showed off we haven't begun to see enough of Zod!

well, yes. i'd wager it's how he will look in the film for the majority of it . So to me, its a reveal. No, it's not the same as a poster or seeing him move in live action, but it's still a pretty good representation of him.

Who collects those POP! vinyl toys anyway? with no articulation there not really that cool not even as a display.

If it is Mattel's I have to eat my words bc I said way back when that they sucked and would put out garbage. That was purely based on their history of crap output so granted its justified. Lol But if this is theirs I am really liking what I'm seeing so far.

Start eating! :P

It's from their Movie Masters 6" line ranging between $15-18 and Mattel did a great job with TDKR MM line that even came with an awesome "Build-A-Prop" in the form of the Bat-signal. I wonder if the MoS series will have something like that and if so...what?

Look at all those companies producing stella stuff...Sideshow, Hot Toys, NECA, Props by Noble Collection, Kotobukiya, SquareEnix....I need another damn job for all this swag!

I wanna see the zod Lego figure with the armor and helmet/mask.

Why? You'll probably see a much better version in the Movie Master line either sometime this week from the Germany Toy Fair or next week in New York.
